Trump is on track to get all but one of his cabinet nominees confirmed after basically going to war with his own party's senators. Did Biden ever criticize his?

No one is going to do a single substantive thing to stop Trump. They're too busy with protest photoshoots for social media and making cutesy signs. There is not enough pressure to displace the actual comfort of the American population. They're all too warm and cozy and distracted. Buckle up.
16 years ago the Republicans were the party of "No" and held back a filibuster proof Senate. Now the "Do Nothing" Dems are like 3 votes shy in all of Congress and yet there is nothing they can do to make things uncomfortable enough to at least halfway stop the complete dismantling of the state.
Ernst folding the way she did was like a national representation of the abused conservative wife. She wanted to speak up a little and piped down the second they told her to shut up.
Biden's own party blocked the Equality Act in the Senate, one of his promises for his first 100 days, and he only ever urged the Senate as a whole to pass it.
That is fair. This is the most a party's base has been upset with the leadership, but so far Dem voters have been content to be placated in previous instances, so we'll see.
Right, allowing the rifts to remain in the party didn't create any rifts in the party, and accomplishing none of the promises that he made absolutely made everyone happy with him. The best way to enforce party unity is to let disunity reign in the party.
They should have done more when in power, which is more to the point. Could you imagine a Manchin or Sinema in this administration that blocked all of their legislation?
He’s been able to sink every republican that stood against him. They’re doing loyalty tests in federal agencies now. It’s his party until he dies or gets overtaken by the next personality.
If Trump can put Republican Senators on the spot now with a Gaetz confirmation process, he will have R-Senators squeezed and make them more desperate to keep him on their side to remain in office even after a confirmation vote.
The best comment I read is: GOP is in power, democrats complain they can't do absolutely anything. But when they were in power, they also complained they couldn't do absolutely anything 🤷🏽♂️
It's the party of doing nothing (which would be a huge improvement over this accelerated self destruct)

That’s some good “resistance” they got going. /s

One was a President and the other is a felon!
You believed they were on the side of Americans.
I call that extremely effective.
Why aren't they marching into USAID, OPM, etc. with a SWAT Team?
You might as well complain that they are not getting the French GIGN to intervene.
Biden would and could never do that.
